Yaxel Lendeborg won his second ring in four months Sunday, leading the Golden State Warriors past the Memphis Grizzlies 94-90 in the NBA summer league championship game at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center. Lendeborg, who starred for the University of Michigan’s NCAA title team last season, finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds to outduel Cameron Boozer in an intense showdown of 2026 lottery picks. He became just the second player to win a Division I NCAA championship and a Vegas summer league title in the same year, joining Davion Mitchell. “Coming into this program, I just wanted to prove that I’m a winner,” said Lendeborg, the 11th pick in last month’s draft. “Doing stuff like this — not caring about the stats and just caring about the outcome. I’m going to continue to push that into next season with the bigger Warriors. … At Michigan, we played team ball. Here, we play team ball. That’s what wins games and championships.”
